Chapter 60: The Way of the Rat
Today is unprecedented, dinner is made very early.
Li Yunlian was busy scalding and plucking the chicken, stewing a chicken to eat tonight, rewarding her grandson, and getting good results.
Of course, her grandson got a good score in the exam, and of course she was very happy.
Although it is difficult to catch chickens running in the mountains, you can still catch one by tricking them into eating something.
Zhou Faqiang simply stopped working today, and came back early to help, cutting meat, washing vegetables, and it was also his job to take charge of the stove for a while.
Among the four major joyous events in ancient life, the title of the gold list is one of them, which shows the importance that the world attaches to it.
Once the fish jumped into the dragon gate and became a nobleman, the glory of the ancestors was several generations, what a happy event.
Although modern times are not so exaggerated, and the high school entrance examination is not the college entrance examination, people still attach great importance to it, especially their old people of the next generation, who are even more happy.
Li Yunlian cut the chicken and immediately muttered, "Yo, this chicken is about to start laying eggs." ”
Their domestic chickens, in addition to this batch of this batch of this year, there are dozens of last year, the eggs picked up every day in the past six months, are all laid by those old chickens, and the new chickens have not yet started.
If you want to say, the native chickens that grew up eating feed start laying eggs in three months, but their families don't have all the grain, so they are slower than those.
Why do some eggs cost a dollar, and some can be sold for two dollars a piece?
Herein lies the difference.
Newborn eggs can be sold for more expensive.
Li Yunlian told her wife: "When you pick up the eggs again, the small ones should be packed separately and not mixed together." ”
Newborn eggs are smaller and easy to distinguish.
Zhou Faqiang said "um".
Zhou Ying was also helping in the kitchen, and she said happily: "Mom, our new chicken is starting to lay eggs, will it be better to keep the eggs and let the hen apply the chicks again?"
She also jokingly told her parents just now that Wang Rui may have eaten her grandfather's local chickens, so she opened her mind to learn and these chickens should take the lead.
Teasing the second elder, it's like something.
But in their hearts, they thought that it must be like this, otherwise, why would Boss Jiang spend so much money to buy their chickens?
In fact, after eating it by themselves a few times, they all felt a lot better.
Having said that, if they were to spend 500 yuan to buy a chicken to eat, even if they knew that eating it was good for their health, they would definitely be reluctant to eat it.
Isn't this home-raised?
In fact, he was still a little reluctant and wanted to keep it for the money, but Zhou Heng came every few days: "Mom, how about getting a chicken to eat tomorrow?" I haven't eaten it for a long time, and I want to eat it." ”
If not, they wouldn't be willing to eat.
It is estimated that if Zhou Heng is not at home, they don't know how long it will take to get one to eat.
As he was doing, Wang Rui rushed in from the outside sweating profusely, not knowing what he was going to get in a hurry, he walked over and turned back, and said in surprise: "Eat chicken again tonight?" Thank you, grandpa!"
Then he smiled and ran back into the main house.
Li Yunlian looked at his small appearance and said with a smile: "Don't thank grandma, grandma wants to thank you today! With your light, grandma can also eat chicken soup." ”
It's a pity that Wang Rui has already run in and didn't hear it.
The guy found a snakeskin bag and hurried out again, as if he were in a hurry.
Out of the yard, he remembered something again, and ran back to the old lady in the kitchen and said, "Mom, Li Ming's high school entrance examination scores have come down, have I come down?"
Everyone in the kitchen started laughing.
This guy finally remembered to ask him about his grades.
These days, he had a great time, as if he didn't have to go to school again.
Li Ming is a child in the village, and like him, he took the high school entrance examination this year. But he was in junior high school in the town, and he didn't know each other before, and he only played together in the past few days.
Wang Rui, this guy, doesn't treat himself as an outsider wherever he goes, he can make friends.
Zhou Ying smiled and told him the score, thinking that if his son was too excited, he had to let him calm and calm and not be too excited.
And soon she found out that she was actually thinking too much, after she said this score, Wang Rui just howled happily twice, and there was an embarrassing dance like an electric shock, and then she jumped and ran out.
Alas, it's just a child who hasn't grown up.
Zhou Ying shouted again in the back: "Wang Rui, come back for dinner after playing for a while!"
Wang Rui has already run away.
He is now full of thoughts, all watching his uncle make mountain rats, and he doesn't know if he has gained anything now.
Just now, he kept pestering Zhou Heng, asking if he could collect the cage, but he was annoyed by the question, so Zhou Heng asked him to find a snakeskin bag.
Seeing that this kid got good grades in the exam, but as always, he only wanted to play, and he didn't know what to say.
He remembered what his junior high school teacher used to say, "You can play as long as you can do well in the test, you can play as you like!"
If that teacher meets a student like Wang Rui, I don't know what he will say.
Hahaha, life is really interesting.
When he saw the kid rushing over with a snakeskin bag, Zhou Heng had no choice but to go with him to get the mouses. In fact, how can it be so fast, that thing is cats during the day.
Forget it, for the sake of him doing well in the exam, let's play with him today.
Wang Rui carried the empty bag and followed happily.
The big yellow dog must have followed.
It's a pity that the first cage looked at it and didn't, the second looked at it again and didn't, and I looked at five or six cages in a row and didn't have any.
Wang Rui was disappointed, and began to get impatient, so he threw away the empty snakeskin bag.
When he saw the chickens walking freely, he suddenly didn't like it, and rushed towards the chickens, screaming "ah" as he rushed.
The chickens were so frightened that they parted on both sides, then looked back at him, and for a moment "clucked" to alert the rest of the chickens.
Wang Rui picked up another branch and began to practice his mad demon swordsmanship, snorting and drinking, scaring the chicken farther and farther.
Zhou Heng was speechless for him, and said, "Don't be so anxious, even if there are no six cages in front of you, maybe there will be one in the back!"
Wang Rui said while practicing: "There is no one behind." ”
Zhou Heng carried the empty snakeskin bag and said, "Then I'll show you! No, I'll find a few from the rat hole for you, okay?"
Wang Rui threw away the branch and hurriedly followed him again.
At this time, Hu Jinhua was helping to pick up eggs, and after a while, the chickens would go back in a large group. Although a hundred were shipped, the remaining team is still not small.
And the big rooster as the leader, I don't know if it's clear, its harem is getting smaller and smaller.
Wang Rui followed Zhou Heng to find the cage under the morning, and it was not until the last cage that he found one. This guy is really unlucky, he was caught walking around the corner during the day.
Looking at the hasty drilling around in the cage, trying in vain to escape from prison, Wang Rui laughed. Today's first harvest, but unfortunately there is no more.
Then he said, "Uncle, didn't you just say that if you don't have it, you will go to the cave and catch it yourself?"
First, he was very curious, and there was really such a thing as looking for a mountain mouse in the cave with his bare hands? Second, he still wanted to gamble, and if his uncle couldn't do it, then he could laugh at him.
Thinking about that taste, Wang Rui laughed in his heart.
As soon as Zhou Heng saw his expression, he knew what this kid was thinking, so could he lose his face now?
He said, "Catch it, catch it, and if you do, what do you say?"
Wang Rui said sonorously: "If you catch it, I will call you uncle!"
Hu Jinhua, who was picking up eggs not far away, heard it and laughed. This kid is too good at teasing people.
Zhou Heng sighed, carried the snakeskin bag containing only one mountain mouse, and turned around to leave.
Wang Rui said in the back: "If you catch it, I will help you work for a month!"
Zhou Heng immediately turned around and walked back, and said, "That's decided, you are a man, but you have to talk about it!"
Looking at his determined expression, Wang Rui suddenly panicked, did he gamble too much just now?
Ah, what a regret, so regretful!
It's just that he didn't want to show it on his face, and said stubbornly: "Even if you don't count, I don't think you can catch it." ”
Zhou Heng instructed him: "You go to the hut and get a bucket, and I'll go find the hole." ”
The hut is the house where Hu Jinhua lives, although he has not lived in it yet, but the bucket or something has been placed there, and he can use it directly to feed the chickens with water during the day or something.
Wang Rui asked, "Why do you want to take the bucket?"
"Let you take it, and fill it with a bucket of water. When the time comes, I'll show you, how can I catch the mountain rats directly!" Zhou Heng was full of momentum.
Wang Rui began to play tricks: "No, I want to see how you find the hole." I went to get the bucket and I couldn't see it. ”
Hu Jinhua said: "I'll go get it for you." ”
He just finished picking up today's eggs.
Wang Rui saw Zhou Heng walking over there, so he hurriedly followed and asked, "Uncle, why are you going this way? How can you be sure that the cave of the mountain rat is here?"
He is indeed very curious, and has a strong interest in this kind of mountain knowledge.
Zhou Heng patiently explained to him: "Look over there, there are too many stones over there, not suitable for them to dig holes and make nests, this side is close to the stream, the soil is too wet, and it is not suitable for them to live, and there may be snakes in wet places, rats are afraid of snakes, and they will not be here, so it can only be the side where I walk." ”
Wang Rui nodded suddenly in realization, and then gave a thumbs up to his uncle: "You're still amazing!"
Zhou Heng laughed: "If you do too much of this kind of thing, it will naturally happen, it's not a big deal." ”
Isn't it, compared to catching mountain mice and doing a good job in studying, of course, it is more important to study.
Wang Rui's admiration for Zhou Heng at this time became stronger and stronger, and he followed it upside down, learning to see what was different in the grass underground.
Because he found out that there was some basis for the direction in which his uncle walked.
He immediately asked again, "Uncle, what kind of road are you taking?"
Zhou Heng whispered: "Don't be too loud, I'm walking on the rat path, be careful to scare it away." ”
Wang Rui immediately nodded silently, waiting for his uncle to answer. It's obviously all grass here, so how can there be any rat path?
